I'm not sure if you want this and what is your source, but if you only want to shift 3 rows, you can do that this way.
let fnShift = (tbl as table, col as text, shift as nullable number, optional newColName as text, optional _type as type) as table => //v 3. parametri zadaj zaporne cislo ak chces posunut riadky hore, kladne ak dole, 4. je nepovinny (novy nazov stlpca), 5. je nepovinny typ let a = Table.Column(tbl, col), b = if shift = 0 or shift = null then a else if shift > 0 then List.Repeat({null}, shift) & List.RemoveLastN(a, shift) else List.RemoveFirstN(a, shift * -1) & List.Repeat({null}, shift * -1), c = Table.FromColumns(Table.ToColumns(tbl) & {b}, Table.ColumnNames(tbl) & ( if newColName <> null then {newColName} else if shift = 0 then {col & "_Duplicate"} else if shift > 0 then {col & "_PrevValue"} else {col & "_NextValue"} )), d = Table.TransformColumnTypes(c, {List.Last(Table.ColumnNames(c)), if _type <> null then _type else type any}) in d, Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjDSNzLUN7RUitVB51jqAxFpHENDfQMTwhwDoCWm+kYGVODEAgA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Date = _t]), GroupedRows = Table.Group(Source, {"Date"}, {{"All", each _, type table}}), Ad_DatePrevValue = fnShift(GroupedRows, "Date", 1), Ad_Data = Table.AddColumn(Ad_DatePrevValue, "Data", each Table.AddColumn([All], "Start Date", (x)=> [Date_PrevValue]), type table), Data = Table.Combine(Ad_Data[Data]) in Data

Sorry I should have been more clear, the 3 rows was for example purposes. 02/21/19 has 48 rows, 09/09/19 has 51, etc. The number of rows varies by the date value, which is why I thought doing something to group by Date would let me reference the previous Date value and add it to the new column.
